Arielle Martins
Arielle's Program
Hi, everyone!
My name is Arielle, and I am thrilled to be a Program Leader for Session II of Prague's Creative Arts Studio. I am a high school math teacher from Hartford, CT, but originally I was a language student. I studied Spanish and Russian for about ten years, which led me to study abroad in Saint Petersburg, Russia and to teach abroad for a year in Honduras. In my free time, I love reading, hiking, and playing with my cat, Millie. I also have an incurable penchant for riddles and puns.
For me, travel is an essential process of discovering the world and discovering yourself. Only when we push ourselves out of our comfort zones are we truly learning and growing. I hope you enjoy reading about our journey this summer in Prague!
